SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2024
The SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2024 extends the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs through 2030, ensuring continued federal funding for small businesses conducting research and development. The bill includes new provisions to increase participation from underrepresented groups, such as requiring enhanced outreach to women, socially disadvantaged individuals, and minority institutions. It establishes technical assistance programs including cybersecurity support, improves website transparency by tracking research institutions involved in SBIR/STTR projects, and adds training for federal contracting officers on commercialization processes. These changes aim to strengthen small business participation in federal R&D, increase technology commercialization, and improve program efficiency.
